“Should you come to predict or explain my behavior, you may write the most well-published treatise in all our world’s ancient history.”

now, i cannot explain or really describe aon as a character but i can say is that he is one of my favorite male main characters EVER! like i’ve read so many books.. just this year alone i’ve read 200. and aon is a bright beacon among all of them. he’s cruel, but somehow fair, he’s funny, incredibly blunt and of course very neurotic.
lydia pissed me off a few times but even that didn’t stop me from giving this book a 5 stars. i absolutely loved seeing their relationship progress, both on a romantic level and as friends. as far as side characters go, lyon is my guy. me and him are like this 🤞🏼
onto book 3 because that ending was incredibly sad
